Thank you so much for your help facilitating online art learning for your k-3 children. I am offering a lot of choices on the home page for art projects your child can create. I understand that not every activity is possible due to supplies. Bottom line, the focus will be on creativity. If you only have pens and scrap paper at your house- then the sketch prompts are a great option!

Pick at least one activity a week. Your child has art once a week for 30-40 minutes. It would be great to try different projects, but sketch prompts are fine too. I will be posting new lessons weekly under the new lesson tab to choose from in addition to the ideas on the home page. This is an open studio concept of art. I am hopeful that this can be a joyful endeavor and not a chore. Art can be very therapeutic for everyone. Feel free to join your children and make your own art.

I am going to be creating an online gallery of artwork. I would love adults to email me pictures of their children's art once a week by Friday. My email address is enardone@sau21. Please include your child's name and class code in the subject line. Class code is just their grade and teacher. For example: 1N= 1st grade/Nolan. I would love kids to take a look at the growing gallery over the next few weeks found on this website.

• Students do not need to be in the picture with their artwork (but are welcome to if you are comfortable with that). I will not be listing last names. If you are uncomfortable for any reason sending pictures, please just have your child save their work in a folder and bring it in when we head back to school.

• New lessons will be posted in the NEW section. To start week 1, refer to the home page for projects to choose from.

• Martha and Hot Dog, the class "pets" have an online pet gallery started. Please send in your pet pictures!
